was he thin in body weight??? If so I would say he didn't have a lot of nutrients to hold the antlers on...or sometimes when a buck gets very stressed out that causes an early antler shed...my grandpa shot a buck once who was very poor in body condition and the impact of the shot knocked BOTH antlers off

Genesis 27:3 "The thinking deer hunter should mature through three phases during his hunting life. First phase, "I need to kill a deer." Second phase, I want to harvest a nice deer. And last phase, we must manage this resource so our children and their children can experience the grand tradition of good deer hunting." - Jim Slinsky
